I'm 8 weeks with twins and have lost a pound but I had weight to lose. First pregnancy I didn't gain a pound until 24 weeks because I was losing bad weight while gaining baby weight so it balanced out. Gained a total of 16 pounds and was a very healthy pregnancy.  I think that's happening again this time. As long as you're eating healthy and drinking tons of water, whatever you're gaining is GOOD weight most likely.

I gained fast with my first baby.  It's now 10 years later, I'm much heavier now than I was when I got pregnant the first time, but I have actually lost 5-7 lbs (depending on the day) with this one from just before getting pregnant.  On the day of my anatomy ultrasound I was actually down 8 lbs from pre-pregnancy.  The doctor hasn't said anything about it, but being that I'm overweight, I don't think losing is an issue.  The baby is still growing, and that's what matters.

I gained a lot with my first pregnancy so im hoping this pregnancy will be more on track.  I like how this app has the weight tracker.

i am almost 8 weeks pregnant, and I have gained 14 pounds... I don't know if that is the recommended weight or not... but I was underweight before I was pregnant so maybe it is normal..
